thanks, i've been working through those tutorials - they're fantastic. 
i'm up to 'water', i especially liked the breakdown of fire into its 
component parts - got me thinking about it in a big way...

i'm reminded at this point of Trevor Wishart in On Sonic Art discussing 
the psychological aspects of sound transformation in Red Bird -- i 
particularly recall the book slamming shut <-> door slamming transition 
being as much about the sound of crinkling pages and the sound of a door 
handle being turned as about the actual slamming sounds: with context we 
experience the sounds as distinct, without context they're identical.
